An audition cut is selecting a shortened portion of a song to sing for auditions. For ADULTS ONLY for our Willa Wonka audition, we’re asking for 32 bars. If you don’t know how to cut your own music, you can work with any accompanist or vocal instructor to find a good cut. Look up Musicnotes.com or Performerstuff.com

32 bars is an average, we won’t be counting it out. As long as it’s not significantly longer or shorter, you’ll be ok. 

It’s not required but it certainly never hurts to have more material available that shows off a different style or part of your range.

We plan to send out callback notices the evening of Sunday, January 25th

Yes, we let everyone know the outcome of their audition.

We’ve gone digital with our audition database so after you sign up, you will be emailed a link to our Audition Application.

Yes. We prefer that you sign up on the link provided above, as certain slots are for children and others are for adults.

For our GRADE 3-8 students who audition, we will teach a small dance combination at the end of their audition timeframe (11:00 am)  which they will then perform in small groups.  For our GRADE 9 through ADULTS who audition, we will have a dance assessment at the end of their audition timeframe (3:00 pm)

We do not provide specific feedback about individual auditions. There are so many factors to consider and we anticipate a high number of audition candidates. We provide the same feedback for anyone who asks: Casting is often not a position of “who did better” or “who’s more talented,” it’s more like looking at a bunch of talented people with different strengths and challenges and seeing where they fit. Our goal is to place actors where they are the most likely to shine and grow! We take so many things into account – many of which we as actors have little or no control over such as height or vocal tone… etc. There are times when an actor is lacking something specific a role requires such as dance or vocal skill. Sometimes one actor’s casting is determined by another, especially when actors are in pairs such as sidekicks or groups or a trio. There are often factors at play that, as an actor, we can’t imagine because we aren’t looking at the entire picture like the director is. It’s never personal and many times we don’t have any advice for someone – they had a great audition, their puzzle piece just didn’t fit in this particular puzzle. We would always encourage the growing actor to work on their skills and approach each audition as an opportunity for growth and learning and finding the success and satisfaction in the audition process.
